AI writing has so many tells. Once you see it, it's fairly easy to identify (and exhausting to see everywhere). If you don't know how to spot it, please read: litmagnews.substack.com/p/q-what-is-ai…

Two teachers hosted a 33-hour Black history lesson this weekend in Philadelphia. They hope it will be verified as a world record for the longest history lesson.

Pls take two minutes to listen to her entire response not just the one sentence highlighted in the caption. She lays it out PERFECTLY. "I'll first say a big shout out to Mike and Delroy, like let's continue to honor them for how they handled that in real time, the grace and the dignity that they exercised, and the whole home team, everybody that was out there, like really carried themselves well. I think the events this weekend exposed a couple things - Institutionally, we still don't understand what inclusion means." "Just because you invite someone into a space, but you don't provide the necessary resources to keep them and everyone else in that room safe by them being there, that's not inclusivity. That's exploitation." "That man's disability got exploited that night, and it led to multiple offenses. That's the BAFTA's fault. And then the BBC, to air what they aired is careless." "And not like some haphazard accident, no, like a real lack of care was exercised for those two Black men. And we know the BBC knows how to take care of what they care about, right, because they censored a bunch of other... they went so far as to make sure certain things weren't topics of conversation." "They censored Akinola's speech, the director of My Father's Shadow, which is an amazing film, by the way. So you censored one Black man, you failed to protect two others, and our production designer, Hannah, you do not care for our dignity, our humanity." "You want to celebrate our art, but you won't protect, and that's why we celebrate sinners. That's why we celebrate Ryan. That's why we show up to the NAACP, because those are spaces where we felt safe, where we feel safe." - Jayme Lawson

The Governor of Oklahoma said it clearly: If undocumented workers disappeared, it would “devastate” the economy. But he’s not talking about citizenship. He’s not talking about equal rights. He’s talking about keeping the labor. That’s the pattern in America: Essential to work. Optional for belonging. Black Americans know this history well. Cheap labor is welcome. New citizens? Not so much. A civil war took place for Black people to be free citizens in this nation. Then 100 years of battling their ancestors for full rights as citizens. And you thought assimilating would get it done for you? I hope more of us are turning to the same page in the book now. Share if you care 🦾

If the Tick Said “Free Palestine,” It’d Be Gone If a vocal tic saying “Free Palestine” would be cut, why was the N-word aired? Intent does not erase impact. Disability explains occurrence, not institutional failure. The BBC and BAFTA safeguarded power, not people. Racism humiliates by design, and antiblack harm is repeatedly deemed acceptable. Stop explaining Black pain away. Selective Harm Is Still Harm! Credit to @kelechn

@TheOgbonna @RonanFarrow I agree with u @TheOgbonna: the data collection part is alarming. I’m just not surprised by boosting prices according to demand; to me this is basic supply & demand economics. Doesn’t mean it’s good but it’s the system. (& it’s why people criticize capitalist societies.)

@OdileW @RonanFarrow We should be worried. Why should I be paying more for an Uber because my battery is at 1%? This is extortion at its worst, in my opinion

So often in this country we refer to what happened in Germany. Listen to these events that all happened in America. So when you see what is happening in the country today, know this has always been America. Book: At The Hands Of Person’s Unknown by Phillip Dray Share if you care 🦾🦾

Trump uninvited @GovWesMoore from a dinner that every governor in America was invited to attend. If you know this country’s history — the names P.B.S. Pinchback and John Willis Menard — then you know America has never easily accepted Black people having a seat at the table. If they have the audacity to be racist, we should have the audacity to call it out. Share if you care. Knowledge is power. 🦾🦾
